1951 Ford F1 Truck Rat Rod on 2040-cars
Jeffersonville, Georgia, United States
This truck started out as an Atlanta, GA built V8 5 star extra cab pickup in Sheridan Blue. It has had a hard life since then. As can be seen, the body panels are dented and rusty. There is no motor, trans, radiator, driveshaft, etc. Some of the interior pieces are missing as well. I would consider this a parts truck only or possibly use the chassis, cab, and bed for a rat rod starter project. The floor is rusty, the doors are rusty at the bottom, the cab corners are rusty, the running boards are rusty, the fenders are rusty, the hood is rusty, etc. I just took out the windshield because I need the stainless so the truck hasn’t been getting rained in from the front side. I have a tarp covering the cab now. Study photos carefully as they are a large part of the description. The frame appears in pretty good shape and the 3 spd trans crossmember isn’t cut up like so many of these old trucks. The truck appears to be used up but never taken apart so most of the peculiar fasteners and clips are in place. The RH front tire is busted but the other three air up. The truck steers and rolls easily. The grille and front edges of the fenders would look neat on a mancave wall; Salvage Dawgs (on TV) got $1200 for this same feature on a 48-50 grille—double your money!!! As
a reflection of the sheetmetal condition, the opening bid is set at roughly
twice scrap value; first bid buys it! I can’t ship it but I will help you load
it. Less than 10 feedback contact me before bidding to avoid cancellation of
bid. $100 Paypal deposit due with three days of auction end; rest of payment
due in cash at time of pickup. DO NOT pay full balance with Paypal or I will be
forced to charge you another 3% to cover their fees. No title for this type of
vehicle in GA; sold with bill of sale only. I reserve right to end auction
early. I can hold truck for up to three weeks after auction ends after receipt
of deposit. Jason four 7 eight, two 3 three, three 2 nine 2. |

2016 Ford Explorer embarks at the LA Auto Show
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Twenty-five years since its debut in 1990, Ford will celebrate a quarter century of Explorer models next year with the debut of a refreshed 2016 model at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19. The Blue Oval is keeping mum on hard details about the updated SUV for now, but the brand promises, "a new look, added capability and additional driver-assist technology," in its announcement.
Company marketing boss Jim Farley elaborated a little more on what to expect. "The new Explorer is still the SUV America fell in love with - a vehicle built for the perfect family adventure," he said in the release that you're welcome to read down below.
An updated Explorer is a pretty big deal for Ford's bottom line. Worldwide, SUVs and crossovers account for about 23 percent of Ford's sales, and the segment is projected to grow to around 29 percent by 2020. Ford further says that SUVs and CUVs are the world's quickest growing segment with demand up 88 percent since 2008.
8 automakers, 15 utilities collaborate on open smart-charging for EVs
Thu, Jul 31 2014We're going to lead with General Motors here. GM is one of eight automakers working with 15 utilities and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) at developing a "smart" plug-in vehicle charging system. Why did we start with GM? Because it's the first automaker whose press release we read that mentioned the other seven automakers. Points for sharing. For the record, the collaboration also includes BMW, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Chrysler, Mitsubishi and Ford. The utilities include DTE Energy, Duke Energy, Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric. The idea is to develop a so-called "demand charging" system in which an integrated system lets the plug-ins and utilities communicate with each other so that vehicle charging is cut back at peak hours, when energy is most expensive, and ramped up when the rates drop. Such entities say there's a sense of urgency to develop such a system because the number of plug-in vehicles on US roads totals more than 225,000 today and is climbing steadily. There's a lot of technology involved, obviously, but the goal is to have an open platform that's compatible with virtually any automaker's plug-in vehicle. No timeframe was disclosed for when such a system could go live but you can find a press release from EPRI below. EPRI, Utilities, Auto Manufacturers to Create an Open Grid Integration Platform for Plug-in Electric Vehicles PALO ALTO, Calif. (July 29, 2014) – The Electric Power Research Institute, 8 automakers and 15 utilities are working to develop and demonstrate an open platform that would integrate plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) with smart grid technologies enabling utilities to support PEV charging regardless of location. The platform will allow manufacturers to offer a customer-friendly interface through which PEV drivers can more easily participate in utility PEV programs, such as rates for off-peak or nighttime charging. The portal for the system would be a utility's communications system and an electric vehicle's telematics system. As the electric grid evolves with smarter functionality, electric vehicles can serve as a distributed energy resource to support grid reliability, stability and efficiency. With more than 225,000 plug-in vehicles on U.S. roads -- and their numbers growing -- they are likely to play a significant role in electricity demand side management.
Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
